Can one photograph a person's aura?

A standpoint, not an encyclopedia entry. A personal experience report by D. Harald Alke. Background knowledge: encyclopedia entry Aura.
I had just spoken about our aura, about our biomagnetism. On this I would like to describe a small experience that was striking for me. The light of the aura is normally too weak to expose a film directly. But after a week of intensive Kundalini Yoga training and a strenuous mountain hike – as nourishment only a piece of bread, a little spring water, wild herbs and garlic – we were, in 1982, in an extraordinary condition.
When, after more than eight hours of marching right across the mountain wilderness of the Pyrenees, steeply uphill, we arrived above the clouds on the summits, we had an extreme radiance. The photo shows one of my students of that time. He sits about a hundred metres away in the haze on a mountain peak. The last evening rays fall through the rising cloud haze. One sees two real rainbows – and if one edits the picture on the PC, even three layers can be recognised, the highest at about 8–10 m radius.

For me that is a striking image of what I experience as aura. It is my personal experience, no scientific proof. And yet it strengthens me in a beautiful conviction: we are truly children of the light, radiant beings.

A fine, body-own force field – in effect a biomagnetism. More in the encyclopedia entry Aura.
